00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:13,253
Speaker 1: from News Talks at b Jack.

3
00:00:13,053 --> 00:00:15,333
Speaker 2: Tame with you through to midday and our textbot Paul

4
00:00:15,373 --> 00:00:18,133
Speaker 2: Stenhouse is here with us this morning. Paul, one of

5
00:00:18,173 --> 00:00:20,773
Speaker 2: the founders of Google, has a brand new company. And

6
00:00:20,813 --> 00:00:23,453
Speaker 2: this is going to come as a huge shock to

7
00:00:23,573 --> 00:00:26,373
Speaker 2: everyone listening this morning. It involves AI.

8
00:00:27,213 --> 00:00:31,293
Speaker 3: Yeah, surprise, it really does. But this AI company is

9
00:00:31,333 --> 00:00:33,493
Speaker 3: not trying to solve things in your digital life, right,

10
00:00:33,493 --> 00:00:37,293
Speaker 3: It's not trying to rewrite something or summarize something. Instead,

11
00:00:37,533 --> 00:00:41,613
Speaker 3: its whole goal is to create physical products and then

12
00:00:41,733 --> 00:00:44,493
Speaker 3: send them to manufacturing. And they say that the goal

13
00:00:45,093 --> 00:00:48,253
Speaker 3: is to make the products highly optimize. That's their word

14
00:00:48,413 --> 00:00:52,293
Speaker 3: for efficient creation in the factory. So one would assume

15
00:00:52,493 --> 00:00:55,893
Speaker 3: that this AI is looking at all of this data

16
00:00:55,973 --> 00:00:59,733
Speaker 3: that has gone on in factories before, looking at how

17
00:00:59,813 --> 00:01:02,533
Speaker 3: things are made, and then trying to then if you

18
00:01:02,613 --> 00:01:05,013
Speaker 3: say build me or whatever, it's going to then try

19
00:01:05,053 --> 00:01:08,653
Speaker 3: and do that in the most optimized fashion so that

20
00:01:08,693 --> 00:01:11,453
Speaker 3: you can get it out the door as assumingly quickly

21
00:01:11,533 --> 00:01:14,333
Speaker 3: and cheaply as possible. But it's a very small team

22
00:01:14,373 --> 00:01:14,773
Speaker 3: at the moment.

23
00:01:14,853 --> 00:01:15,093
Speaker 1: Jack.

24
00:01:15,893 --> 00:01:19,653
Speaker 3: The website basically doesn't say anything. But this is in

25
00:01:19,773 --> 00:01:21,853
Speaker 3: stealth mode, as they say in the industry, and they're

26
00:01:21,853 --> 00:01:24,213
Speaker 3: tinkering away at how this can be a thing.

27
00:01:24,453 --> 00:01:27,013
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, speaking of AI, a couple of big developments

28
00:01:27,013 --> 00:01:31,173
Speaker 2: from chat GPT. They're looking to launch something called Promax

29
00:01:31,573 --> 00:01:33,933
Speaker 2: plus What that was mean?

30
00:01:34,053 --> 00:01:36,053
Speaker 3: That was that was just me putting Oh, that was

31
00:01:36,133 --> 00:01:39,133
Speaker 3: just me putting the name in there. Because they're looking

32
00:01:39,173 --> 00:01:41,893
Speaker 3: to launch a new AI agent that's like two hundred

33
00:01:41,933 --> 00:01:44,893
Speaker 3: and forty thousand dollars a year. It's twenty thousand dollars

34
00:01:45,293 --> 00:01:46,893
Speaker 3: a month. I know. So what do you call it?

35
00:01:46,973 --> 00:01:49,973
Speaker 3: Guess why does it pro max plus plus max pro?

36
00:01:50,133 --> 00:01:52,733
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean that is like the.

37
00:01:51,613 --> 00:01:54,133
Speaker 2: The super solution.

38
00:01:53,933 --> 00:01:56,933
Speaker 3: Shit, yeah right, yeah yeah yeah yeah. So that is

39
00:01:57,013 --> 00:02:01,133
Speaker 3: going to, they say, be so highly specialized that it

40
00:02:01,173 --> 00:02:06,693
Speaker 3: will basically be good enough to do like PhD research with. Okay,

41
00:02:06,733 --> 00:02:09,013
Speaker 3: so this is they're talking this is going to be

42
00:02:09,053 --> 00:02:12,533
Speaker 3: like the top of the line. Who knows what it's

43
00:02:12,573 --> 00:02:15,173
Speaker 3: going to be able to produce? Crazy thing. Yeah, but

44
00:02:15,213 --> 00:02:18,693
Speaker 3: they're also looking to do some agents at a slightly

45
00:02:18,733 --> 00:02:22,413
Speaker 3: more economical price point too. But this is the bit

46
00:02:22,453 --> 00:02:24,653
Speaker 3: that got me Jack. They're doing one that's two thousand

47
00:02:24,693 --> 00:02:27,173
Speaker 3: dollars a month, right, and they say that it's looking

48
00:02:27,213 --> 00:02:32,173
Speaker 3: to replace high income knowledge workers their words. And then

49
00:02:32,293 --> 00:02:37,973
Speaker 3: a software developer developer agent for ten thousand dollars a month. Wow,

50
00:02:38,093 --> 00:02:40,413
Speaker 3: they're actually so tuer it one hundred and twenty thousand

51
00:02:40,413 --> 00:02:40,933
Speaker 3: dollars a year.

52
00:02:41,893 --> 00:02:43,693
Speaker 2: That is reasonable.

53
00:02:44,613 --> 00:02:46,813
Speaker 3: Was going to say that's a whole person's salary, right,

54
00:02:47,213 --> 00:02:49,333
Speaker 3: But then it's still going to need a human to

55
00:02:49,373 --> 00:02:51,973
Speaker 3: prompt it and help with and integrate and all of

56
00:02:52,013 --> 00:02:55,533
Speaker 3: those things that it does, so that then becomes quite expensive.

57
00:02:55,813 --> 00:02:58,173
Speaker 2: Yes, and I'm presuming they don't do like a free

58
00:02:58,213 --> 00:03:01,293
Speaker 2: trial period, which is what I'll be doing if you can,

59
00:03:01,333 --> 00:03:03,093
Speaker 2: I sign up to the one that's quarter of a

60
00:03:03,133 --> 00:03:04,893
Speaker 2: million dollars a year, but just do a free trial

61
00:03:04,933 --> 00:03:06,933
Speaker 2: month and then on day twenty nine cancel it.

62
00:03:07,453 --> 00:03:07,693
Speaker 3: Yeah.

63
00:03:07,693 --> 00:03:08,093
Speaker 2: Maybe not.

64
00:03:08,453 --> 00:03:10,493
Speaker 3: So these are all apparently still in the works because

65
00:03:10,493 --> 00:03:12,293
Speaker 3: they're really trying to figure out how to monetize all

66
00:03:12,373 --> 00:03:15,413
Speaker 3: of this. Interesting to note, right, the most expensive plan

67
00:03:15,453 --> 00:03:18,613
Speaker 3: at the moment, which their founder Sam Moltman said that

68
00:03:18,653 --> 00:03:20,293
Speaker 3: he put the price on and he thought it was

69
00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:22,573
Speaker 3: really expensive and didn't think people would buy it, is

70
00:03:23,053 --> 00:03:25,773
Speaker 3: two hundred dollars a month, So the fact they're talking

71
00:03:25,773 --> 00:03:31,293
Speaker 3: about these AI agents being two ten, twenty thousand dollars

72
00:03:31,373 --> 00:03:31,693
Speaker 3: a month.

73
00:03:32,653 --> 00:03:36,213
Speaker 2: Boy, yeah, pretty extraordinary. Yeah, Okay, well we'll wait and

74
00:03:36,253 --> 00:03:38,693
Speaker 2: see it. I guess as to what kind of people

75
00:03:38,773 --> 00:03:41,293
Speaker 2: might be signing up to that, but yeah, fascinating, Thank you, Paul.

76
00:03:41,453 --> 00:03:44,493
Speaker 2: I suppose it means you get the absolute cutting edge

77
00:03:44,533 --> 00:03:46,973
Speaker 2: of their technology and their computing power, which is kind

78
00:03:47,013 --> 00:03:48,973
Speaker 2: of critical when it comes to these AI tools.
